PM Modi launches Odisha Government’s ‘Subhadra Yojana’
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday launched the Odisha government’s flagship women-centric programme Subhadra Yojana, and unveiled railway and national highway projects worth over Rs 3,800 crore here, marking 100 days of the third NDA regime at the Centre.
Modi also released the first instalment of assistance to nearly 10 lakh beneficiaries under PMAY-G across 14 states.
He also took part in ‘Griha Pravesh’ celebrations for 26 lakh beneficiaries under the housing scheme from across the country.
He also launched Awaas+ 2024 App for a survey of additional households for PMAY-G.
While participating in the Griha Pravesh celebrations, Modi visited Sabar Sahi slum in Bhubaneswar where he interacted with the beneficiaries.
The PM inaugurated the homes of 20 beneficiaries under the PMAY there.
Accompanied by Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, the PM visited the home of Antaryami Nayak, a beneficiary of the housing scheme, and savoured the traditional Odia sweet dish, ‘kheeri’, prepared at his residence.
Modi spent some time at Nayak’s home and blessed his children.
Sharing his experience after he was offered ‘kheeri’ by a tribal family on the occasion of his birthday in Bhubaneswar, Modi said, When my mother was alive, I used to visit here and seek her blessing on my birthday. She used to give me jaggery.
Today, I got the blessings of a tribal mother who offered me ‘kheeri’. The happiness of tribals gives me strength to work for them.
